Hello...My apologies..as I have been absent from posting. I noticed on FaceBook that many artists seemed to think that nobody blogged anymore. But...you know what..I don't care ...as I have great fun writing my blog. So, here I go...

Oh boy...it certainly is hot here...when I take my dog out for a walk...I realize that he is walking me. He enjoys air conditioning...as do I...

Many of you have travel plans for the summer vacation...Sadly, I do not look as cute as Seaside Sally in my bathing suit...so I will pass on a beach vacation.

Sight-seeing with a special pal is a fun way to explore new and exciting sites...plus you can take many snapshots to share with your friends back home.

Picnic parties make summertime so enjoyable...visiting with friends and having tasty party treats lead to cheerful memories...

While the sun shines so brightly it is nice to tend to your landscaping...your neighbors will appreciate your efforts...

Soon it will be time to enjoy your vegetable garden...fresh vegetables will keep you healthy.

Ahhh...as evening approaches the highlight of any summer day is going out for ice cream...this will lead to happy dreams.

Shake, Rattle and Roll...

Hello...With Autumn at our doorstep...allow me to introduce you to a charming couple who reside here in Funtown. Meet Hambone and Boney Maroney...they compete in Ballroom Dancing Contests and they have many trophies. He prefers the Tango as he has a dramatic flair...Miss Boney likes the Fox Trot as she is developing creaky joints.

They pack their dancing shoes and travel up and down the East Coast. We are so proud of our famous couple. No, they are not married...not yet, anyway...but, there are rumors.

During the evening hours, Boney Maroney relaxes by knitting and watching old black and white movies...the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers' films are her favorite. She secretly believes that she is much more graceful than "that Ginger Rodgers!" She is knitting yet another scarf for Hambone as he has poor circulation and is always chilly. He has confided in me that he longs for a colorful argyle scarf...but alas...Boney Maroney is color blind and has trouble following directions.

Here is Hambone practicing bobbing for apples for our Harvest Moon Fall Festival. He has been the Apple-Bobbing Champion for three years running. He is very competitive and enjoys posing for the snapshooter during the trophy presentation ceremony. Fortunately he doesn't boast too much...as a dose of humility is a good thing here in FunTown.

We can hear the music daily as we stroll by Boney Maroney's home...we smile knowing that the duo is inside twirling, kicking and dipping. This is why they are Champions.

This is their 8x10 glossy that they had made for the contests...but Boney is hoping that it will be their engagement photo for the newspaper. She dreams of this moment while knitting.
